Five Israeli soldiers were killed and more than ten others injured in intense fighting in northern Gaza, according to Al-Qahera News reports.
The reports indicated that five helicopters were dispatched to evacuate the dead and wounded soldiers from northern Gaza to Tel Aviv, underscoring the severity of the clashes in the area.
The recent escalation comes amid ongoing military operations in Gaza, where Israeli forces have been engaged in sustained combat with Palestinian armed groups. The rising toll among Israeli troops highlights the fierce resistance encountered in urban combat zones across the enclave.
The Israeli military has yet to issue an official statement regarding the specific circumstances of the casualties. Meanwhile, security sources warn that fighting in the northern part of Gaza remains intense, with both sides suffering losses.
This incident adds to the growing toll of the conflict, which has already resulted in significant casualties and destruction on both sides.
